Someone (I think the USian gentleman who crashed so badly) mentioned this a while ago. Apparently, it is all the craze in the USA. I guess America has taken over from Africa. Ex America , semper aliquod novae. The handling must be, um, 'interesting'.

give it time, frame will snap.
It's on one wheel....so its a wheelie....
no hang on
its would still be on two.
Perhaps suzukis new concept to get around frame breakage issues?

Perhaps he started out, simply wanting to build a trailer for his bike?

In which case it will soon be all the craze here.....and everyone will rave about them.Mini choppers are so last year (or was that the year before) You'll be able to buy a dually kit from Repco,made in PRC.....(for off road use only)

Bikes mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. It's probably just a show bike or a boulevard cruiser. Not my thing, but meh. Some (sad) people think fairings are the devil...

I'm all for someone doing stuff they want to do but given the amount of power on tap, how has the front back wheel (if you get what I mean) got enough contact between the chain and the rear sprocket to actually turn? I wonder if it just becomes an idler wheel but I also wonder if there would be any difference in speed between the two wheels at any time? My brain hurts.

My $0.02.
It's not about riding the bike, or even whether it goes well at all.
You see, what you have here is an exercise in chequebook engineering. Someone (with too much money IMO) has asked "What if you..." and come up with something most of us probably would not want out of a bike, but it would appear something similar to what the owner wanted.
It's just another custom bike. There's a lot of stuff on customs I don't understand, but which comes under "it's art - you don't have to understand it."

I just came back from the states and didn't see any of those!

Yeah it isnt a Busa, looks more like a Kwaka I think, not 100% sure

Yeah it isnt a Busa, looks more like a Kwaka I think, not 100% sure Its a TLR,theres plenty of individual things to admire,has done a good job matching an R1 upper to TLR lowers etc.Riffer probably sums it up best i think,not my cup of tea but then it wasnt my cheque book that built it.

Damm I actually like it. Don't want to take it to the Akoroa GP but could be fun on a long straight. Seems to be a few of these around America can't just be for show
Never gona wheelstand or stoppie for that matter could be good in a hell worked motor.
If it drives of two wheels it could increase millage for the tyre could limit wheelspin to.

yeah me too, but this thing make a whole lot more sense than some of the 'family SUVs' driving (and parking) around there. This one i saw in a mall carpark, that'd be four parks it's taking up in a crowded carpark.

It has to be a show bike.
As the teeth on the middle drive sprocket would be quickly stripped off.

Hahaha, yup - that'll have the turning radius of the Queen Mary.

Looks like the trailer has had the same extending treament, the axle is set in a weird position
Piece of crap i wreckon, but hey, thats just my opinion

it would be awesome if it didnt have the extra wheel

It's probably all well executed work however I agree with 98TLS....why?
I can understand modifying your bike for more speed or better handling (shorter wheelbase) but if all you want to do is stop the bike from popping wheelies then just learn how to use the throttle more judiciously FFS.
